Exhibit 99.1

Clinton, NJ -- Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY), parent company of Unity Bank, reported net income of $10.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $9.5 million, or $0.93 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This represents a 15.3% increase in net income and a 15.1% increase in net income per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Unity Bancorp reported net income of $29.9 million, or $2.94 per diluted share, compared to net income of $29.9 million, or $2.88 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This represents no change in net income and a 2.1% increase in net income per diluted share, reflecting the Company’s repurchase of outstanding shares.

Third Quarter Earnings Highlights

●

Net interest income, the primary driver of earnings, was $24.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.5 million, as compared to $23.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net interest margin (“NIM”) increased 15 basis points to 4.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the yield on interest-earning assets increasing and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreasing slightly.

●

The provision for credit losses on loans was $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The provision in the current quarter was primarily driven by loan growth.

●

Noninterest income was $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The $0.8 million increase was primarily due to increased net securities gains, gain on sale of mortgage loans, service & loan fee income and branch fee income. The increase was partially offset by lower gain on sale of SBA loans and other income. The Bank sold $0.9 million of SBA loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

●

Noninterest expense was $12.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, which was flat compared to the prior quarter. The increase in compensation & benefits and other expenses was offset by decreases in loan related expenses, deposit insurance and professional services.

●

The effective tax rate was 25.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to 24.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Balance Sheet Highlights

●

Total gross loans increased $45.3 million, or 2.1%, from December 31, 2023, primarily due to increases in the commercial loan category. This was partially offset by decreases in the residential construction and residential mortgage categories.

●

As of September 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans was 1.22%.

●

Total deposits increased $122.0 million, or 6.3%, from December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, 19.1% of total deposits were uninsured or uncollateralized. The Company’s deposit composition as of September 30, 2024, consisted of 20.7% in noninterest bearing demand deposits, 15.9% in interest-bearing demand deposits, 27.4% in savings deposits and 36.0% in time deposits.

●

As of September 30, 2024, the loan to deposit ratio was 108.4%, representing a continued reduction from 112.9% as of December 31, 2023.

●

As of September 30, 2024, investments comprised 5.5% of total assets. Available for sale debt securities (“AFS”) were $97.7 million or 3.7% of total assets. Held to maturity (“HTM”) debt securities were $36.2 million or 1.4% of total assets. As of September 30, 2024, pre-tax net unrealized losses on AFS and HTM were $3.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively. These pre-tax unrealized losses represent approximately 3.1% of the Company’s Tier 1 capital. Equity securities were $9.8 million or 0.4% of total assets as of September 30, 2024.

●

Borrowed funds decreased $89.6 million from December 31, 2023. Borrowed funds were entirely comprised of borrowings from the FHLB.

●

Shareholders’ equity was $284.3 million as of September 30, 2024, compared to $261.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The $22.9 million increase was primarily driven by 2024 earnings, partially offset by share repurchases and dividend payments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Unity Bancorp repurchased 229,102 shares for approximately $6.2 million, or a weighted average price of $27.05 per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Unity Bancorp repurchased 10,334 shares for approximately $0.3 million, or a weighted average price of $27.27 per share.

●

Book value per common share was $28.48 as of September 30, 2024, compared to $25.98 as of December 31, 2023. This increase primarily reflects earnings partially offset by dividend payouts.

●
